Brief Answer:
Head CT should be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

As you have diabetes and hypertension, stroke is the first thing to be ruled out. You should consult neurologist as soon as possible. Head CT is the right test to find the reason.
Please do not wait with it.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
